   Hi all,
   
   Right finnaly got my Saxo running ok, now im noticing theres lots of water spitting out of the exhaust pipe my brother reckons this is normal and probably just condensation but even after running it till the radiator fan comes on twice, its still doing it unsure if its loosing water from the rad yet but the engine runs fine! So surely if there was that much water going thru it would affect its running anyone else's cough out lots of water from the exhaust?
   
   Regards

   its probably condensation but the strange part is when you've been driving for a bit and it still does it...

   when the engine and exhaust are hot you shouldn't get any condensation. When the car has been standing for a while its quite common

   Its very normal especially just idling and doing nothing or when cold. I could almost make a tiny tiny puddle with all the water from mine just doing nothing from cold.
